Although Mauthe is the fourth Penn Stater to enter the Hall, he is the first player to receive the honor—his two predecessors were former Penn State coaches' Bob Higgins, Dick Harlow and :the late Hugo Bezdek Mauthe, as most of you know, captained the 1912 undefeated. untied Penn State team—a team that scored 285 points that season while limiting the opposition to six. Only an intercepted pass play by Cornell prevented the Lions from posting a season of shutouts. What a team that must hare been! And Pete was the key to the team's offense. From his fullback I post, he averaged a little better than seven yards a carry and did , the punting, field goal and extra point kicking—not to mention quite ' a bit of passing, to boot, . Although we have never had the privilege of meeting Mauthe personally, from reading of his exploits on the gridiron, we can see why he is to enter the Hall of Fame. Here are just two stories we picked up about Mauthe's ability via Chet Smith of the Pittsburgh Press who, in turn, learned of them through Shorty Miller, the 1912 quarterback. Miller relates: One afternoon the Lions were playing Ohio State at Columbus and an opposing lineman spoke loudly and often about "the great Mauthe." This lad finally got on Miller's back. When he could stand it no longer, Miller turned and said to the Buckeye wiseguy: "Listen boy, I'm going to send Mauthe right through you this time. Let's see how you make out." The result of the play: quite simple—Matithe went all the way for a touchdown and the Buckeye remained mute for the rest of the day. Another Miller tale goes like this. In 1912, the Lions were romp ing over Pittsburgh and he, as Lion signal-caller, decided to put on a show for the fans. With the ball at midfield, Miller called for a field goal by Mauthe. "You're crazy," a Nittany lineman told Miller. "Let's see," w•as his reply Mauthe's kick was good from 51 yards out. It was one of the longest kicks in the history of the game, bettered by few. Mauthe had the added distinction of never playing in a losing collegiate game. And with the exception of one game, his high school playing days with Dußois were all on the winning side. Ironically enough. Pete 's extra point miss was the- cause for the defeat. Mauthe will receive the recognition this afternoon, but to him, it is a tribute to the 1912 team. "This is a great honor for me, course," he said. "But more important, it is also a tribute to the team of 1912. That was a fine team. It was devoid of jealousy or factionalism. Its spirit was marvelous. And it had great confidence in Shorty Miller, who called the signals. He was the boss." Yes, this is a tribute to a great team—one of the greatest, if not the greatest , in the University's history. But more specifically, it's a tribute- to one of Penn State's greatest football players. It's a honor well deserved . . . congratulations, Pete. NOTE TO COACH RIP ENGLE: We were very shocked and sur prised yesterday to hear of your father's unexpected death Thurs day night at his home.
